As 2018 gradually draws to a close, it's time once again for our annual Bonenkai year-end celebration. What better way to spend a Tuesday evening then meeting old friends, enjoying an assortment of delicious Japanese food and maybe even winning a prize, all right in the heart of downtown?

This year's Bonenkai will be held on Tuesday, December 4th at KAKA All You Can Eat (655 Bay Street) from 6:30 PM. Admission is $25 for CJS members and $30 for non-members (tax and tip are included). Drinks are extra. You must RSVP by email (steve@cjst.ca) to confirm your attendance. We can accommodate a maximum of 100 people.

In addition to the usual door prizes, there will also be a 50/50 draw, with the proceeds going to support the Japanese Social Services Holiday Drive.

This is a reminder that the next CJS Ichimokukai event will be on October 4th, 2018. For those of you interested in attending our upcoming curling event in October, this would be a good time to buy your ticket.

October's Ichimokukai will feature a special live jazz performance by musicians Hiro Suzuki and Sunghee Yoon.

Hiro Suzuki is a jazz guitarist born in Kanagawa, Japan. He began playing guitar at age 13, and started drums at 15. During college, he played in the orchestra pit for several musicals, including Hairspray and Bye Bye Birdie. After winning a jazz competition for college students in Tokyo (2012), he taught guitar at Kurosawa Music School for over 3 years. He currently performs and teaches in Toronto.

Sunghee Yoon is a musician born in Seoul, South Korea. He started playing guitar at the age of 12, studied at Dong-Ah Institution of Media and Arts, and is currently enrolled in the Jazz Program at Humber College.
